C.K. wrote the song that plays in the scene in which Louie has breakfast with his daughters.
Louis C.K. based this episode on his real-life experiences of hiring a babysitter and then realizing that he does not want to leave his house.
The opening scene was shot in Washington Square Park on the same night as New York University's commencement. This explains why camera flashes can be seen because parents were taking pictures of their children during shooting.
A scene was filmed in which Louie gets heckled at the East Ville Comedy Club but it was deleted.
